Script on arm = Powered by Leyland, on engine cover = S Debono & Sons (top line), can't read the lower line but probably sonmething like General Construction |

perhaps export model for Europe with locally fited engine what I noticed is that the normal Michigan doesn't have the BOX shape structure at the front , the one in link I posted comes from Norway and is clearly listed as Michigan 75A Link to "www.heavyequipmentforums.com" -- Last edit: 2014-01-16 09:12:53 |

They were built in Britain by AWD (All Wheel Drive Ltd ) of Camberley with British engine choice. -- Last edit: 2014-01-16 13:35:14 |

Early models of Michigan (not Clark) were powered with GM, Cummins, Leyland, Perkins, etc… the model equipped with Leyland could be a UK version as I've seen others with that match before. |

I worked for AWD/Clark in Camberley UK from 1963 to 1976. AWD initially built Michigan's under license from about 1955 until they were acquired by Clark in 1967. Thereafter they were part of the Clark Construction Machinery Division. I remember John Andrews and Neil Davis, plus many others. The UK production was mainly anglicised, a lot of European built engines were installed for the European market, particularly in the smaller models up to Model 85. Hydraulics were from Hamworthy, axles built to Clark design by Kirkstall Forge. Torque converters and transmissions were Clark, the 12 & 13 inch torque converters were made in Belgium. As far as I can recall, they used Ford, Perkins, Volvo, Leyland, DAF, UK built small Cummins V engines and the larger straight 6 built in Scotland. Probably plus a few others I can't remember. I believe all the Detroit/GM's came from USA, as did the larger Cummins engines. Clark in Strasbourg also built Michigan's with European engines. I did lot of work on engine installations and the engine/converter/radiator cooling tests, either in the test cell at their nearby Blackbushe plant, or at the outside test track at MVEE Hurn for machines too big for the test cell. They were happy and interesting days. .gif ":)") |
